You can't beat a mk1 gusset goose in nickel plate, end of  :yahoo_silent:

Instant memories right there and they look like they were welded together from bits of old pipe and box-section in your mate's shed. I love 'em  8)

Survivor is the new NOS and there are loads of tips and advice on here how to restore them but keep original, so take your time and don't be afraid to ask questions. If you find a decent frame and forks in the US that you can ship over, that would be your best bet for a tidy example  :daumenhoch:

Some great advice here already! :daumenhoch:

You can definitely build a decent bike for less than the stupid prices on ebay - plus you'll have a lot more fun and/or satisfaction doing it yourself! As Pete says, you can often get good deals from the US (unsurprisingly, given the size of the market there), despite the additional shipping and customs fees. If I'm buying a frame, I usually ask the seller if he minds putting other small parts in the same box. I then buy stuff from other US sellers (on the Museum or US ebay) and get them sent to the frame seller's address. Take your time, be patient and start a build thread on here!! :daumenhoch:
